Sirefef Virus

I was searching a Mexican resturaunt site when a window opened that looked to be running a virus scan by a software that I do own. I wasn't able to open task manager or windows security essentials. I rebooted a few times before I was able to open security essentials which is how I was able to determine I have the Sirefef virus. I will run the preliminary removal steps and post the logs.

I was searching a Mexican resturaunt site when a window opened that looked to be running a virus scan by a software that I do NOT own. I wasn't able to open task manager or windows security essentials. I rebooted a few times before I was able to open security essentials which is how I was able to determine I have the Sirefef virus. I will run the preliminary removal steps and post the logs.

I am having trouble posting the system log. The browser "hangs" once I paste the log file contents. I wait and I get the the "browser not responding" click "recover" message. I have been trying to post it mbar log. I did a "test post" just to verfiy I can post a reply. I've rebooted and tried posting the file again this morning several times with no success. I will continue to try. Any suggestions or alternate solutions?

**Note: In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download. It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**

Never rename Combofix unless instructed.

Close any open browsers.

Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".

Click onthis linkto see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.

Close any open browsers.

WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts

Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.

If there is no internet connection after running Combofix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.
If the connection is not there use restore point you created prior to running Combofix.

Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.

NOTE1. If Combofix asks you to install Recovery Console, please allow it.NOTE 2. If Combofix asks you to update the program, always do so.

When finished, it will produce a report for you.

Please post the "C:\ComboFix.txt"

**Note 1: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall
**Note 2for AVG and CA Internet Security (Total Defense Internet Security) users: ComboFix will not run until AVG/CA Internet Security is uninstalled as a protective measure against the anti-virus. This is because AVG/CA Internet Security "falsely" detects ComboFix (or its embedded files) as a threat and may remove them resulting in the tool not working correctly which in turn can cause "unpredictable results". Since AVG/CA Internet Security cannot be effectively disabled before running ComboFix, the author recommends you to uninstall AVG/CA Internet Security first.
Use AppRemover to uninstall it: http://www.appremover.com/
We can reinstall it when we're done with CF.
**Note 3: If you receive an error "Illegal operation attempted on a registery key that has been marked for deletion", restart computer to fix the issue.
**Note 4: Some infections may take some significant time to be cured. As long as your computer clock is running Combofix is still working. Be patient.

Make sure, you re-enable your security programs, when you're done with Combofix.

NOTE.If, for some reason, Combofix refuses to run, try the following...

Delete Combofix file, download fresh one, but rename combofix.exe to your_name.exe BEFORE saving it to your desktop.Do NOT run it yet.
Download Rkill(courtesy of BleepingComputer.com) to your desktop.
There are 2 different versions. If one of them won't run then download and try to run the other one.
You only need to get one of these to run, not all of them. You may get warnings from your antivirus about this tool, ignore them or shutdown your antivirus.

Sorry for the delayed response since last post. I've had issues getting combofix to run. Initially, it would cuase a BSOD even after downloading the from the other alternative sites. So, I followed the instructions in the section under "if combofix refuses t run". I hda to run rkill from the second link and still recieved errors while it ran. Here are few examples of the errors I would receive:

I ran combofix in safe mode. I recall a notepad opening with a log file. I rebooted so I would have internet access and now I can't find the log file. Could it be possible it didn't save or the app did not run to completion as I thought?

Re-ran as requested. rkill does run to completion and log posted below. Combofix is not running to completion as thought. After clicking "continue" to all the warning messages I thought a log was produced but, that is not the case. I ran it 3 times to be sure.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.[/*]

Press Scan button.[/*]

It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and paste it to your reply.[/*]

The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.[/*]
